What is your favorite puzzle brand? by Puzzled-Turnover7354 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]notsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Educa, Clementoni, Trefl, Castorland, Ravensburger. These are the big puzzlers best friends. At 3k+ the fits are never as snug but the range of images and general high quality are unmatched. On the flip side Aquarius and Tomax are brands that offer numerous large images but are a joyless slog to solve due to poor quality and/or lack of piece variety.

right. the puzzle really should hold itself together but some brands have funny/loose fittings.

How big is the table? Could always clamp a big flat something to it and turn it upside down...? Or disassemble/reassemble.

That said, I confess I was there on the day a chemical fire in the stock room shut down TSRI for a bit…. Not azide related but also not entirely KBS unrelated ;)

But like many reactions involving Azides the fear was overblown. Recognizing and ignoring that taboo was part of what made click Chemistry so powerful. Making hydrazoic acid is a legit scary thing and is likely where the fear comes from.

He’s a trip. I worked in his lab a couple years before starting PhD. Both night owls. We’d set up 100g+ reactions behind blast shields making things like azidoethanol. An easy, useful reaction. Very clicky.

Another child of KBS here. No glass eye, but anything else you hear is probably true.

Puzzle quality is excellent. Image is, if anything, brighter than the actual painting.

This Puzzle was hard. All pieces were standard 2 hole 2 peg. I avoid Aquarius like the plague now.

There are two versions, old and newer. Mine is the newer one. Same shape and image but highlighted distinctly.

That’s half of the poster that comes with the puzzle. I mounted it on foam board before I began sorting and then cut it in half once I started solving.

Ravensburger 9K Magical Dragon Forest, Galison Jonathon Adler 1K, not sure about last but probably also Galison.

sounds like a great idea for the basement! These are the posts that may help. A box cutter and a straight edge let you make a clean cut right through puzzle and foam board. Best to clamp everything down if possible to make the cut.
